Well I'm looking at getting either an R32 GTR or, an engine and gearbox-less 32.

I'd be putting in either an RB25det or an RB30et.

What do you think would be a good price on a gts-t etc with a blown engine.

Will I need to do any mods to the brakes for the power?

Are the rear axles 28 spline, I'm assuming yes.

What has 5 stud and what has 4 stud.

I'm basically looking for something thats already tough that will handle a half cut or similar.

And I'd only want to pay 6-10k for that car if everything was in good condition - minus engine gearbox.

Tell me what you think.

Good price i reckon you wuld get a 32 fair condition with a running engine for 10 if u hunt melbourne is the place too search for cheap cars......

you would get a great looking 32 less engine and box for 10 ......

just make sure you get the turbo version of the 32 due too brakes and diff difference too much hassel if you dont get the turboed version

Thanks for the quick reply, well currently I'm in the middle of converting my n/a vl. But I'm getting slack on that and want something newer.. Not much newer but still.

Hows the MX7 go bolting up, will it fit in driveline channel and have the stick poking out in the same area? I'm assuming engine mounts would be the same for all rbs or very similar.

May even buy one complete and sell engine/ gearbox, do a transplant into my vl. Got me onto another idea, thanks champ.

woe man you makin me mind read ? MX7 bolting up too were what ? all mounts are the same like rb 30 rb 25 and 26 ..... dam sell the vl get a skyline

everything will marry up too the std skyline. need more specific info mate

As in will the mx7 - 5speed turbo gearbox out of vlt, fit into the skylines driveline tunnel.

And would the gearstick come out in the same place in the cabin?

I'm assuming the engine mounts would be the same as they are all the same series.

I'm just trying to decide whether to put an rb30/25 with the mx7 gearbox in or to go with something else.

stick with the RB30det block and put the Rb25 det head on too make it twin cam very common in all skylines and vls .... should fit i dont see why not engine mounts will fit just use your rb30 block from the vl stick a rb 25 head on it .

dont know why u wanna use the vl gearbox just get a manual or rb 25 manual stick it behind the rb30 you have to sheer the dowl in the rb25 box too accept the block if not it wont line up ....

well if u wanna drag or drift im assuming u wanna drag so stick with the vl auto beef it up a lil and go tear the strip down ... if u want go with a powerglide 2 speed box they are as tuff as guts and dont need much modifying too get it too race specs chuck a high stall convertor in it and theres a few seconds gaind alone .....

No mate, not drag nor drift, probably something with a bit of power, nothing over the top, but more of an everyday driver.

The reason why I'm thinking keep the mx7 is because I've heard the gearbox that comes behind the RB20det is pretty weak.
